Today I heard from Dr. Miroslav Koudelka, who provided dates and digital copies of our Zvolanek ancestors from Krucemburk, Czech Republic. I will be entering specific information into Ancestry.com,
but in general, here's what our once-barren family tree looks like:
I still do not have answers about what happened to our grandfather John's parents and siblings after the Russian Revolution, and I will keep trying to find that information. However, it's nice to fill out this tree and to know they all were born and lived in the city of Krucemburk -- and the specific house numbers where they resided and often celebrated weddings!
Digital copies of these archival records can be found on the Shutterfly site!
